Use of DC operating point parameters in calculations and plots

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hi all,

I run a DC sweep simulation on ADE and I would like to plot some of the DC operating point parameters of my schematic (such as vdsat of the transistors, ...)
Moreover, I would like to use these parameters in the calculator in order to make calculations (e.g.: use of vdsat in some calculations).

Does anyone have any idea?

Thks for considering my request.

AXP

    I'm using the OP() command in Ocean to obtain the operating point parameters. I want to use this command in a for loop (to check every device), but for that I'll need a list of names of all the instances in my netlist. Is there somehow that I can generate such a list? The IC5 version I'm using does unfortunately not support the DeviceCheck family of functions. I'll also need to distinguish between device types. Is there a way for me to find the device type, suppose I already have the instance name?
